I heard about this one a while back Vanilla and always wanted to give it a try but somehow forgot. I downloaded it yesterday and gave it a go. Sorry to say this but I thought it was really bad. Graphically it looks poor and gameplay feels awkward. However I've got to admit all the limb/head slicing action is very funny. I was fighting against the viking warrior and cut both his arms off and he was jumping around trying to kick me! Very very funny to watch!

I've played BloodStorm which is by the same developers and that was also really bad. I think it's worth playing these games just for a laugh though. I read that the publisher Strata went out of business after the release of BloodStorm which isn't all that surprising really!

Both Life and Death enjoy victories and mourn losses in their struggle, but for the most part the two entities are evenly matched.

I thought they were behind those Golden Tree Golf games.

I don't actually know much about Strata to be honest but yes you're right they did publish the first games in the Golden Tee series. According to the wikipedia article for BloodStorm Strata went out of business after that game. BloodStorm has got to be one of the worst fighting games I've ever played.

AND TRUST ME...
if Merlin says that, then it MUST be bad!!

Hey I've got very good taste in fighting games Ninja! I'm always willing to give games a proper try even if people dismiss them as being crap. Sometimes they turn out to be a lot better than people claim e.g. Ragnagard. If you haven't already tried Time Killers and BloodStorm you should give them a try and let us know what you think. A bit off topic but here are some BloodStorm matches I found.

HAHAHAHAHA! These games look so terrible. I admit that I've never played them before, but, boy does the gameplay look shitty and animation more choppy than Lizzie Borden!

Looks like these games would be fun for a couple hours of EXTREMELY drunken gaming, not much else. Maybe I'll try and look for these games on MAME, for a good laugh.

definatly party it up then go game it up i mean it is worth the twenty minutes your gonna invest into it playing and downloading it lol have fun . i always try to win with as few body parts atached to me as possible...

I haven't got to play these, yet. Time Killers being one of the first (if not the first) weapon-based, modern-fighting game after the success of Capcom's SFII was its merit; however, Allumer's Blandia (sequel to the 1986 Gladiator arcade published by Taito) was also released sometimes in 1992, and while some websites say that Time Killers was released in November 1992, then Blandia was most likely released one or more months before Time Killers. Think of it like the Dice Game seen on The Price is Right.

Before Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer (by Technos Japan), Rabbit (by EA and Aorn) and both Mega Man fighting games (Power Battle and MM2: The Power Fighters) all allowed players to take something used by their opponents they defeated and use against their later opponents, BloodStorm had a feature like this. Although Konami's Martial Champion was the first to allow players to fight against their opponents with their opponents' weapons they disarmed them from, that's different. That can only be done against some weapon-using opponents, and after they are defeated, you can't take their weapons with you to fight against later opponents with.

BloodStorm was rated a couple of times in this clip from the British television show GamesMaster ( embedding disabled, sorry ) :
